SALFERMOSER / SALVERMOSER / SALVERMOOSER Those are three spellings of a name that still exists in Bavaria, in various places. The German phone directory shows about 120 entries with that name, which is not much in a country of 80 million people.

I am unable to access this site with Netscape Communicator 4.5. I get a Rice Univ. website that says "sorry the page you are requesting does not exist at this web site." Marian

This is so strange I can get the page in Explorer 5. 0 but not in Netscape Communicator 4.7......... BarB http://www.crpc.rice.edu/CRPC/GT/dawsonm/faq.htm

I am using Netscape 4.6 and usually do not have any trouble with entering websites. It would be interesting to know what the difference is in viewing and not viewing. Maybe what you suggested is true. ******5 minutes later: I just tried it on IE and it came up fine. I tested it again on netscape and it got the error again. You are probably right, Tom...

Hi, just tried the web site and had no problem, but I have the Explorer 5 and Outlook Express 5, so can only say that I found it very helpful.

Apparently some people are having difficulty accessing the FAQ page. It was made for version 4+ browsers, but I can change it to version 3. The URL is correct. If you are using Internet Explorer 5, you should not experience any difficulty. Marcella At 07:55 AM 1/18/00 -0800, Thomas Fiske wrote: >Dear Listers, > >The wonderful FAQ address works for me.

Hello - With respect, I have countless bookmarks and am on the net constantly, accessing very complex sites. The difficulty that I and others are having is not because we're using ancient software programs or just don't know what we're doing. The URL takes me to the site, but not to the FAQ page. It takes me to this site - http://www.crpc.rice.edu/CRPC/GT/teacherinfo2.css - every time. So - the URL does work but it doesn't take me where I'm told that it will take me. This is, of course, a disappointment. Jim Thomas Fiske wrote: > Dear Listers, > > The wonderful FAQ address works for me.

Dear Listers, The wonderful FAQ address works for me. Perhaps people are having problems because the page is full of colors and various styles of printing, which suggests HTML or some kind of layout that is not compatible with their computer set-up. I am using Outlook Express 5.0 in connection with Internet Explorer 5.0 Tom

This is really strange. I have tried to reach this website for the faq several times in the last 15 minutes but I receive the 404 error message each time.

Marcella, What a fantastic job you have done! My hat is off to you. As my son would say: You Rock! I loved the letter you wrote for those of us who do not speak German! Linda Los Angeles Researching DIENST from Bavaria

I went to the site with no problems and have book marked it. It is an awesome site. Thank you. Jeanie G.

What does the list-owner say? Shouldn't he (or she) be involved? What direction does the list-owner want to go? Actually, shouldn't this type of thing be coming from the list-owner? Who is the list-owner?

Hello Marcella, your http://www.crpc.rice.edu/CRPC/GT/dawsonm/faq.htm is a very nice site, and a treasure bookmark for every old or new Bavarian genealogist. A few "entry links", but IMHO you selected exactly the good ones, that lead to more depth, depending how much time somebody wants to spend with strolling around the web. I found several new things there. Thanks! Answered is e.g. the question about the census, that was here some weeks ago, and where no answer was available. It is quite the content that I thought of. Maybe our newbies can suggest, what they found difficult or missing.... The only difference is the form. I thought about a text, that can be mailed (like the FAQ in your last link), but more condensed, shorter, with only the most important info about Bavarian Genealogy. I don't know whether everybody here on the list has easily access to the web, or whether people are limited to e-mail. If so, then we should look, whether it is possible to summarize your site into a text. But before that, maybe we can have feedback: Can everybody access the web, or is it necessary to have a text-only version, that can be mailed? Technically it could be done as a so-called Autoresponder. i.e. people who are interested, would send a request-mail to that Autoresponder which in return would send the text back. Once again: Congratulations for your "Gen-Vademecum"! Stefan P.S.: All the nice people who ansered about my "Sterbe-bildchen": I will come back about that in a few days. Thanks a lot for now!
